Working through editing my forthcoming book, and currently sitting at a fighting weight of 39,170 words.

It's journalistic malpractice. Every fucking election, people rush out with the takes before they've done counting the ballots. Just once, I wish reporters would have to write lengthy apologies for the dumb takes. Let's dig in.

Weird election day--my twins graduated from high school today and I am overcome with pride. They've worked so hard and become such amazing people. I am so excited for what they do next.

Good. Build the giant Marina Safeway housing project.

In case you need my voter guide for San Francisco/California. Vote June 2!

I got to see I Love Boosters last night the Alamo with a live Q&A with @bootsriley.bsky.social and @bitchtalkpod.bsky.social . Stop whatever you’re doing and go see it in the theater immediately and then organize a strike at your job. Trust me. We’ll discuss it afterwards.

The most strategic fumble I’ve witnessed among dem leaders is letting their cops beat up their constituents. And it’s been going on for years and weakening us all. It leaves people with few options but to lose faith in the entire system. And faith is all you got because there isn’t very much proof

Funny to see people mocking leftists for voting for a billionaire (Steyer) for governor. The entire history of the left has relied on class traitors. Like have you heard of Friedrich Engels?

I read the Boy King, Mayor Lurie’s study so you don’t have to. Conclusion Yes on D. #fundpublicservices My union is one of the sponsors of Prop D. They did not approve this message.

I'm getting ready to write the conclusion of my leftist nonfiction book and I need some help. cc @haymarketbooks.org

With election day upon us, we must once again prepare for a wave of post-election takes in which all the commentators confirm their prior beliefs and try to interpret the results as meaning something greater but definitely not meaning anything about the specific races that were run.

They stole the internet’s knowledge and all the work that went into it and they want to sell it back to us for a fee. What a business model.

If they want to repeal transfer taxes for new construction in order to stimulate the economy, there's an argument. Repealing transfer taxes for huge landowners to sell portfolios back & forth to each other doesn't seem like it's stimulating any other economic activity to benefit the rest of us.

They pioneered this on people you don't care about so that it was perfect it when it got to you

Xavier Becerra is the perfect candidate for you if you're a Democrat and your politics are stuck in 2008.

I still think these two paragraphs from Ganz are the most important contemporary political writing

Today I rode the 19 bus. Lurie’s new fare inspectors got on and they’re stopped the bus from moving to argue with people who didn’t pay. Great plan to use fare enforcement to slow down the buses.

"[E]mbrace uncertainty as a terrain of glorious possibility. Let this uncertainty ground you rather than make you fearful."

The workers of @seiu1021.bsky.social did this. It's a good first step, but it will take more to get this historic institution on a better path.

There is a future for Zionism or a future for Jews but not both. The last few years have convinced me of this. As a Jew I would like to have a future, so Zionism can go ahead and fade like all the other racist 19th century nationalisms that created it.

Trump is a service bottom.

There's a dumb argument in mainstream pundit circles about whether Democrats have gone "too far to the left" to win and are alienating voters. I think it's the wrong question. It's not about left/not left. The threshold question for any Democrat must be "what is your plan to stop fascism"?

Is this your king? www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open...

I was a history major in college, so people assume that I can answer concrete questions like “what was the Crimean War,” but we only did social and cultural history. So I can only answer questions like “what is the origin of the idea of romantic love in medieval France?”

ok who's game for another moment in media literacy: @sfchronicle.com ran this story announcing layoffs at the California Academy of Sciences. Notably, the story went live BEFORE the email went out to the workforce notifying them. www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

I've been a UBI skeptic, more inclined towards demands for a jobs guarantee than for UBI, but this article persuaded me that UBI should be in the mix. I want more weird genius in our lives.

We’re not going quietly. Happy May Day. Here for workers and immigrants and trans folks and women. Everyone belongs everywhere. Big purp has your back.

Having all the cards is, famously, not the goal in Uno.

I got my cozy pjs and my chair and my 2nd anniversary commemorative issue of @derspekter.org because I believe that Jews belong with everybody.

If you live in San Francisco, please sign this letter to the Board of Supervisors to oppose Dorsey's cruel & stupid plan to evict people for not already having recovered from addiction from supportive housing where they are supposed to be recovering from addiction. actionnetwork.org/letters/save...

Remember all those people who pretended to care about free speech

I'm being silly. I know the answer: liberals only care about human rights abuses inflicted on immigrants when Republicans do them. They were fine with it under Clinton, Obama, and Biden.

Why isn't the fact that Becerra misplaced thousands of immigrant children as HHS Secretary a bigger issue in the governor's race?

More garbage program cuts from the Boy King Mayor of San Francisco to funnel more money to cops and billionaires.

NO CUTS! NO LAYOFFS! PROTECT PUBLIC SERVICES! With community protesting Mayor Lurie’s cuts to the safety net while trying to give $$$ to cops and big business.

Build the Bund. Buy a magazine.

what's that more articles about the Bund: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/b...

We clipped my sermon about hope from @thebugle.bsky.social if you want to enjoy and share it and my dopey face: www.instagram.com/reel/DXUrVZ8...

The people who can't perform basic management of a school district want you to believe they are capable of making sound decisions about closing schools and laying off school employees.

All I want for Easter is to build the Bund.

This is now a Jewish Labor Bund/ @mollycrabapple.bsky.social stan account. It fills my heart to see a tradition come alive of Jewish socialist antizionists.

Dorsey wants to evict people from PSH for using… because it’s better when they overdose on the street? Such a cruel argument.

Yes. Yes he is free.

For people skeptical of the allegations against Swalwell, first of all, there are plenty of solid Democratic candidates. Is it too much to ask for one who hasn't been accused of rape? 1/2

Get in everyone, we're defeating fascism all over the world.

As we await Hungary's election both for the liberation of its people and as portent for our own, let us recall the role that ridicule, resistance and refusal has played. Yes, elections can be turning points but only if movements make them so.

Not all heroes wear capes.

This weeks episode of @thebugle.bsky.social podcast was needed for my mental health. Spending time with the brilliant and hilarious @alicefraser.bsky.social and Zaltz is a salve. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

It might be confusing for non-Jews, but you may not be aware that the Hebrew word for "ceasefire" literally translates as "not ceasefire, anything but a ceasefire."
